I’d go with coils irrespective of the fact that you goto the track or not. I run an entry level set of JIC coilovers and wouldn’t switch to spring/shock combo. I watch cars on springs take bumps, sure it doesn’t translate to the drive as much but the car is bouncing around like a jack in the box… ---

i have some d2’s for sale. i love them, super stiff, or plush for da ladies… adjustable for track and daily… i’d go with coils either way though… with springs you can’t do much adjusting for track or anything… i love teh d2’s… and will buy again. case closed ---

Comparing Megan to A’PEXi is a bit of a crime in itself. The main concern with Megan’s is that nobody has had them long enough/beat on them enough to really give a good review. EDIT: they look good, and go low and a ton of US guys say so far so good…but that’s like only having them for a year or less. ---

go with the megans…they have been in testing for three years now…Apexi has the exact same product and there have been no issues at all with them… Even with d2’s there are no problems after that one oil issue.i sell both megans and d2’s but i would personally go with Megans cuz they are the best value for the money guaranteed… ---

ive done both and to tell u the truth. if youre just an aggressive street driver who wants to slam their ride, go with a shock spring combo. i had sportlines and GR2s and they treated me very well. the ride was smooth and I didn’t bounce around at all. Plus the ride height was just perfect. I’m sure others on here are running that setup and can vouch for that. At first I only had the sportlines… THAT was a bouncy as fuck ride. I blew 3 shocks in 2 weeks. I came across a deal on some cuscos that I couldn’t pass up recently so im running some “exotic” shiet now. The ride is more aggressive and not as comfortable as the shock spring combo for sure. But hey, it’s bling. How many of us go through the hassle of jacking up their slammed cars on a regular basis and fine tune their suspension regularly anyways? (posers need not raise their hand). So if budget is a concern and you don’t have the need to muck around with your settings and track your s13 every weekend then I would say yay to shock+spring. Another thing to consider is how the prices of budget coils are so aggressive now… the price difference between the shock spring combo and budget coilovers are closing in… there really is just maybe a 2/300 dollar difference if at all… but its still 2/300 bucks. ---
